Mananthavady, Wayanad
On the road, beside the river.
Wayanad is a district, not a town — so how you arrive matters. The farm sits right by the road for easy access, with the Kabani river at the bottom of the garden and 300 acres of paddy fields directly opposite.

Driving from Kannur or Kozhikode
Head for Mananthavady. The farm is signposted off the road about five kilometres out of town; the last stretch is a small bridge and a short length of rough road, so take it slowly in a large car.
Flying in
Kannur (CNN) is the closest airport at roughly 90 km. Calicut (CCJ) is about 110 km and has more connections. Both are comfortable half-day drives through the ghats.
